Deep in grime, grit, and grace-filled mornings, she finds insights for business, for relationships, for family, for life, and for the soul.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eJust as the ocean inspired Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s classic Gifts from the Sea, so too can a mountain become a lyrical metaphor for coping with life’s complexities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether musing on wild onions or mosquitoes, river crossings or thunderbolts, Eileen shares lessons for understanding the mundane and the magnificent, the difficult and the delightful, the ordinary and the extraordinary. Mountains become a lyrical metaphor for coping with life's complexities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou'll be reminded of what you may already know but have likely forgotten in the tension of time constraints, work worries, and family frustrations. McDargh will jar your memory, evoke new awareness, and spur you to action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach two-page spread features a full-color watercolor painting illuminating these concise, graceful reflections. \u003ci\u003eGifts from the Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e helps us pay attention to the process of life and to take joy in the journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003eSince1980, Eileen has become noted as a powerful international keynoter who speaks the truth with clarity, wisdom, humor and compassion. Long- standing clients and repeat engagements attest to her commitment to make a difference in the minds, hearts, and spirits of organizations and individuals. For successive years, Executive Excellence magazine has ranked her as one\u003cbr\u003e of the top 50 thought leaders in leadership development.\u003cbr\u003e She draws upon practical business know-how, life's experiences and years of consulting for major national and international organizations ranging from global pharmaceuticals to the US Armed Forces, from health care associations to religious institutions, from American Airlines to Xerox, from 3M to IBM, from drill foremen in the Arctic to juvenile offenders in prison\u003cbr\u003e Artist Roderick MacIver founded Heron Dance in 1995 as a celebration of the gift of life. Heron Dance explores the seeker’s journey and the human connection to the natural world. In his words:\u003cbr\u003e “Wild places, places free from the influence of civilized humanity, inspire my life and art. Out there are cycles larger than the concerns of man. Out there exists a deep silence and deep peace, as well as, of course, a great struggle to hold on to the gift of life. With my art and life, I try to express reverence for the mystery and beauty of wild places.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                            \n                            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45354452451489,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781576754696","price":19.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781576754696.jpg?v=1762976328","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/gifts-from-the-mountain-hardcover-by-eileen-mcdargh-illustrations-by-roderick-maciver","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
